you are hiding in my lungs

like a bat inside a cave
you are seeking out my injuries
and occupying space
without holding up a mirror
I can see your other face
you look just as disappointed
as the ones that you’ve replaced

you remind me of myself
my heart is on fire
why don’t you come closer

you are adding up the numbers
you are settling the score
so I’m waiting for your fingertips
to take back what is yours
you’ve been careful in your planning
I’ve been careless with my hands
I’d be more than happy meeting
your unreasonable demands

you remind me of myself
my heart is on fire
why don’t you come closer

dance around this dark desire
closer closer to the fire
